One of the reasons Batman continues to hold out on screen is his adaptability. Over the years, the world’s greatest detective has appeared on screen in various incarnations, from the cheesy 1960s TV series to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, with each version bringing clear insights from filmmakers and the eras from which they come, despite being unmistakably Batman. . Perhaps no Bat-flick has shown this so clearly Batman returns – Tim Burton’s sequel to his 1989 blockbuster featuring piles of latex, exploding penguins, and a creepy prospect that could only have come from the mind behind it. cockroach juice Yes Edward scissor hands.
in important news Empire interview, Tim Burton reviewed the film for its 30th anniversary, recalling a film that, at the time, was considered as dark as Batman could be. This year, Matt Reeves’ hard black the Batman showed that there were darker depths to explore. “It’s fun to see it now, because all of these memories come from ‘It’s Too Dark’,” she says. “So that makes me laugh a little.” Time Return has a partial gothic sensibility, playful and often perverse, it is far from the solid grain of The black knight Reeves’ film or film, the latest of which Burton has yet to see (“I’d love to see that,” he says).
Of ReturnReception and controversy over his dark tone at that time, the studio turned to director Joel Schumacher batman forever Yes batman and robin – two films whose crisp Day-Glo aesthetic and children’s cartoon sensibility felt a million miles from Burton. One of the most criticized decisions in Schumacher’s films particularly angered the Return director. “[Back then] they went to the other side. It is funny. But then I said, ‘Wait a minute. Good. Wait a second here. You complain about me, I’m too weird, too dark, and then you put your nipples on the suit? Kiss my ass. Really. So yeah, I guess that’s why I’m not done [doing a third film]… ”
Now that Batman’s big-screen releases see him battling psychopathic terrorists and serial killers, the days of Penguin Wars seem somewhat picturesque. While Burton looks back Batman returns now he sees more of the darkness he became famous for. “I’m just not too dark. It represents me in the sense that … that’s how I see things. It is not intended as pure darkness. There’s a mix, “he says.” I really like the weird experience you get. ”
